Gavin McCallum Set For Court Date!

Alright, fine — that headline is intentionally misleading. But it got your attention, right? What’s really going on is that the “completed” transfer of Canadian forward Gavin McCallum — a.k.a. “The hero of Mérida” — isn’t quite completed after all. While McCallum is very much with Lincoln City these days, it seems that there’s some niggling contract stuff still to be worked out between Lincoln and his former club, Hereford United. The matter is looking set to head to a Football League tribunal (hence the “court date” reference in the headline. Clever, I know). It’s all to do with the vagaries of signing out-of-contract players under 24 years old, and will only result in various amounts of money changing hands between clubs (and lawyers, the cheeky devils).

That’s it. That’s all. Just keeping tabs on the comings and goings of our boys abroad.
